Define "when needed".
Would it be acceptable if you had a 30 second window and a 5 minute off time? (or whatever times you deem acceptable) Remember that when the ESP8266 is in deep sleep it will not respond to any WiFi traffic.

If you knew when it would be needed (some form of synchronization) then it may be workable.

I am sending data to a webserver once every minute. The rest of the time it could be asleep. Tell me about synchronization
